The void trembled. An intangible energy signature erupted from deep underground, instantly spreading to the surface and shooting high into the sky.
Gu Zheng’s consciousness left his body, rising from the earth and into the air.
At that mont, the scenery of the nearby mountains fell completely into his "sight."
He saw wild rabbits on the mountain, startled, hopping through the grass.
He saw earthworms, centipedes, green snakes, and millipedes burrowing through the soil and crawling over piles of fallen leaves.
He saw leaves swaying in the mountain breeze, each with its own unique pattern of veins.
He saw the creek in the mountain ravine trickling along, the fish and shrimp within swimming leisurely.
He saw the wind in the forest blowing, drifting, and weaving between the mountains.
He saw the clouds in the sky, the water vapor within them churning—so dissipating, others condensing.
He saw strands of the Power of Heaven and Earth, invisible to the naked eye. They were like ribbons, endlessly weaving and drifting through the sky, across the mountains, and within the earth.
He had rged with heaven and earth!
’It’s impossible to grasp how wondrous this is without experiencing it firsthand.’
At that mont, Gu Zheng was deep underground, but he saw everything happening outside without missing a single detail.
He imitated the operations of these natural laws, birthing a Domain within his awakened Sea of Consciousness.
The thod for creating a Domain that Xu Jianzhu had taught him was, in essence, imitation.
Imitating the drifting of the wind, the burning and extinguishing of fire, the gathering and dispersing of water, the falling of rain and snow...
During this process, his comprehension could not be interrupted.
This was where the Celestial Profound Crystal and the Void Divine Stone ca into play.
Relying on these rare treasures, he firmly grasped that wondrous, esoteric connection.
He used the great world outside as a reference to perfect the small world within himself.
Bit by bit, he birthed a Domain in his Sea of Consciousness.
Seven Divine Seeds, seven Seas of Consciousness. Gu Zheng casually chose one of his small worlds to transform into a Domain, pulling the Power of Heaven and Earth to converge within it.
A mont ago, the disturbance had been contained to a small area. Now, it was spreading rapidly.
The first Sea of Consciousness he’d randomly chosen was the one refined from the Divine Seed ford by Wood Manipulation. As it transford, the nascent Domain also took on the properties of plants and wood.
Gu Zheng was underground, but on the surface, all the flowers, grasses, and trees within a ten-zhang radius began to tremble under the influence of the formless energy.
Blades of grass, tree roots, branches...
Gu Zheng consciously controlled them, comprehending their inner workings so they could be born, bit by bit, within his own small world.
The power of the Domain followed close behind, continuously growing.
The initial Domain only had a radius of ten zhang.
But the disturbance it caused extended over a thousand zhang.
Within this range, the Power of Heaven and Earth was drawn together, converging into a single force.
Water vapor, mountain winds, sunlight, earth qi, baleful qi...
All these forces began to tremble—so dissipating, others condensing.
This abnormal disturbance could be sensed by those at the Super Body Realm.
Those at the Heroic Body Realm could sense it from several li away.
And those at the King’s Body Realm could sense it from a hundred li away.
SWOOSH!
A hundred li to the east of Gu Zheng, a figure tore through the sky at incredible speed.
WHOOSH!
Dozens of li to the north, another figure flew swiftly through the air.
FWOOSH!
SWOOOOSH~
To the southeast and northwest, two more figures broke the sound barrier as they flew, rushing toward Gu Zheng’s location.
「Underground.」
Gu Zheng seed to sense sothing. The light from the Human Emperor’s Seal Artifact Embryo suddenly flared.
Inside his Sea of Consciousness, the slowly forming plant Domain abruptly accelerated its developnt, transforming into giant trees.
It was as if a seed had a fast-forward button pressed. It burst from the soil, sprouted, grew a stem, beca a sapling, then a tree, growing taller and stronger, extending its boughs.
Leaves grew on its branches, flowers blood, and fruit appeared, hanging heavy from every bough.
One tree, two trees, three trees...
By the ti the four figures who had torn through the sky arrived at the nearby mountaintop, a Giant Wood Domain with a radius of several dozen ters had been successfully born.
It manifested externally as a translucent, grass-green sphere floating in mid-air. Within it, giant trees pulsed with rich Vitality.
"He succeeded?"
In mid-air, a tall, middle-aged man stared at the Giant Wood Domain and said in astonishnt, "Didn’t he just start the breakthrough? How has he already succeeded in creating a Domain?"
"The facts are right in front of us. He has indeed succeeded."
Ying Jiuxin’s eyes glittered with a strange light as she looked at the middle-aged man. "ng, do you know this new King who is breaking through?"
"I don’t." ng Ao shook his head. "A Giant Wood Domain, which corresponds to a Plant Divine Seed... I’ve never heard of it..."
"The Domain this brother has created isn’t just about plants," a slender man with a sharp aura to his right interjected coolly. "If you sense it carefully, the power within the Domain is still increasing."
"Hm?"
Hearing this, ng Ao carefully sensed the floating, rotating Giant Wood Domain, and astonishnt filled his eyes.
"Sword Intent? He’s integrating Sword Intent into his nascent Domain? Is he trying to evolve it into a Sword Realm?"
"It is indeed evolving into a Sword Realm." The one who spoke was a muscular, average-height old man. His eyes glinted sharply as he stared at the condensing and evolving Giant Wood Domain. He spoke in a gravelly voice, "And it’s a brand new Sword Realm, one that’s even stronger than my own."
"Oh?"
Ying Jiuxin glanced at him. "It’s rare to see ’The Gods’ Li Fengdao willingly admit defeat."
"Is this how your Ying Family always takes things out of context?" Li Fengdao shot a glance at Ying Jiuxin, completely unafraid. He said flatly, "I only said this Sword Realm is strong. I never said that I was weaker than him."
"Is there a difference?"
Ying Jiuxin’s smile was radiant. "A King’s Body’s primary power is their Domain. If the Domain is strong, doesn’t that an their overall strength is also great?"
"That may be true for you, but don’t lump in with that," Li Fengdao said, his face impassive.
"Alright, alright," ng Ao interrupted. "The new King’s Domain below has been successfully created. The crucial thing now is to identify him. Have either of you had any contact with him before?"
